₦airaland Forum

Although I am not a Buhari's fan but I am always annoyed seeing some Nigerians calling Buhari (who retired as a Major-General in the Nigerian Army) an illiterate.


A General in the Army is like a Professor in the Universities or a Consultant in Medical Profession.

Arrewa:
shut up!! Answer his questions, is Nnamdi cownu a graduate or a dropout

Simple question them no fit answer but if na Buhari now they Will come to tell how he only graduated from Daura primary school and directly join the military....

You still keep making the same mistake...the fallacy of hasty generalization.


1) You place too much emphasis on Tribes and you only have problems with one only one tribe (out of the 250 tribes in the country) . . . THE YORUBAS.



Nigerian politicians are in politics first for their PERSONAL interests.

Those who occupy public posts or embezzle public funds are NOT doing so on behalf of their tribes


2) Yoruba is not a political party but an ethnic group. There are Yoruba politicians in EVERY political party.

You wrongly assume that anymore who is opposed to an Igbo politician must be a Yoruba man and he is doing so because the politician is Igbo.


There are politicians in Yorubaland whose greatest opponents are fellow Yorubas. The same is applicable in Igboland and elsewhere.

3) Political parties and not tribes contest elections.

You seems not to be aware that Tribalism is a card played by the (political) elites when they lose out or want to unfairly gain upper hand in the contest for power and privileges.

4) You seems to take politics of Nigeria TOO PERSONAL eventhough you aren't a member of any party.
The people you are fighting for and against don't even know you exist.

5) Your understanding of how these political parties operate is very superficial. This is very similar to how road side football fans analysize and comments on European Premierships.








































6) YOU talk with authority as if you strongly believe you can determine the political destiny of Nigeria in general and the Yorubas in particular.

Modarun:
Here my answers to your comment:

1. Don't need a party card to see through your agenda, and subliminals brah, we know how all used the media and blackmails to gain access to power. The threat to live Nigeria etc. It won't work this time. You wont get the presidency and y'all wont be allowed to leave. If you try it, una body go tell una land Full stop. All this one South noise kole week.

2. You reply self shows you know I know exactly what y'all upto. we shall continual bust y'all tyres as we approach 2023.

3. Nope I simply hate deperate people willing to demonize others just cos they want power. We saw the demonization campaigns against any S.East or S.South candidate in your media. Atiku picks Obi as Vice, Yorubas: "Peter Obi is a bigot" !!!, Atiku is a Criminal". But na tinubu be your political leader. Stella Oduah : "we will upgrade Enugu Airports". Yoruba media: "She is a thief" blah blah. She gets sacked, 6yrs on with your saints in power, woman is still walking free. It got so worst y'all were pushing the the create south were the problem of Nigeria. Sell ur candidate and stop the demonization. We saw it play out on this streets o. y'all are found out.

4. Hahaha I only wish Your people what you wish South Easterners, North Easterners and South southerners. Perpetual relegation. I oppose Yoruba ideology of developing cos it sort to not only suppress the growth of others, it attempts to diminish it. You want power to marginalize ,and suppress opportunities in other regions of the south. To monopolize developement only to your section of the country. What did your ministers in power now do for the rest of the country you want to back your quest for presidency? Nada. You don't want working ports in South south, No rail way in South East, we know. If Yoruba man was the man NCC during the GSM intro days, Northern and S. East and S. South of Nigeria would be lagging behind in penetration. Ur kit was Fin. min during You win, Only Yoruba's would win. See why I oppose your quest? Its only about your region with you guys.

5. No one is more selfish and tribalistic than a Yoruba man. This is why despite knowing fully well Buhari would be a failure, y'all lied, killed, did whatever to elect him. hell y'all even sold the lies Buhari will die and Osibanjo will take over. How wick and tribalistic can one get?

6 Ha, what is Yoruba records in FG pls tell us. Fashola ur best is a humongous failure, our roads are bad, no light. Who in your region can compare Iweala, (Finance) Bart Nnaji,(power), Ernest (NCC ), Akunyili(Nafdac), etc is it on innovation? Capacity? Or what?

7. Stop smoking kpoki bros, 2019 was rigged by APC. The only time The south west got it right was in 2015. Before then the South East and South have always been in that place y'all are gloating about.

Stop misinforming people with your psychiatric illness.



Ebute-Metta means 'The Three Harbours' i.e Oyingbo, Otto and Iddo.


In the olden days, water transportation was the only mean of traveling long around different parts of Lagos and the Harbours were like today's Bus-Stops.

The first three Harbours (Iddo, Otto and Oyingbo) when coming from Lagos Island to the Hitherland weren't just ordinary Harbours but economic zones where the Islanders usually meet the Hitherlanders to sell (usually imported) products in exchange for Agricultural products from the hinterland. These three economic Harbours are the equivalent of what we now call 'FREE TRADE ZONES'.

The place was traditionally under the authority of the King of Otto (Oloto of Otto Kingdom ) who provided security and ensured free trading while his ' Traditional Custom officers' got his commisions to the palace.





[quote author=Pointguardusa post=76234665][/quote]

You are getting wrong.


Most successful Igbos are usually business men living and working outside the Southeast.
Their houses, plazas, hotels are not just buildings but chains if business on their own,which like all other business may not yield optimal results if the owners of the business aren't close by especially during the gestational period.


Most Yorubas in Igboland are not business men but Federal Government workers and few artisans/petty traders. For certain historical and economic reasons, Yorubas are more in the North and Foreign countries than Igboland.

Even at that some who really enjoyed the place have settled down and build houses there.

mrvitalis:
Those ones would regret it when the time comes
Why don't Yoruba's invest outside south west
Makinde made his money in pH what's his investment their ?

How many plazas do Yoruba's own in the south south or north ....if some Igbo's want to keep being foolish that's them . me my own is to talk

My first land was in south south and that is the last outside south east unless its very very essential

I can't just stop laughing at your post.

What I can safely deduced from all this long epistle:


1) You are NOT a card carrying member of the APC or any political party and you have no ideas how political parties operate.

2) You form your opinions about the politics of Nigeria from your personal feelings, perceptions, insinuations and beer parlour rumours but you project these opinions as the undiluted Gospel truths and which others believe them.

3) You have a morbid hatred for the Yorubas in general and Tinubu in particular, whom you hold responsible for any political disadvantages suffered by the Southeast.

4) You desperately wish to see the Yorubas in general and Tinubu in particular suffer and humiliated as 'punishments' for real and imaginary evils they have committed against the Igbos.

5) You see presidential elections as inter-tribal contests.



6) Your purpose(s) for voting in presidential elections is/are NOT based on performances, track record of achievements or anything patriotic but ethno-religious balancing.




















7) You exergerate your political relevance.

Modarun:
They wont cos They don't have many Muslims amongst them to plead their case to the fanatic North when Yoruba Muslims start their campagne of lies against them. Everyone knows how Yorubas go that route when things even out. We saw it here on Nairaland during the 2019 elections. Atiku was choosen cos he has friends across the divide, Obi to help quench the Cris I of ipob in the East, plus their acumen in business to fix things, but no Tinubu part of Yoruba started thwir demonization exercise against Obi and Atiku instead of grabing that olive branch to settle the disunity.
SS or SE can ever trust y'all cos you have shown you only play politics of seclusion from this 5years in the mainstream. Imagine if the like of SS and SE in power before were like the South west in power now?. Stop asking the other south to meet you anywhere, they are smart and know where their butter is spread, and its efinately not on Tinubu Yoruba APC table.
Why are you angry nah? Shey una bragged that Tinubu made Buhari president why are you demanding SEast to drag with you when you have Tinubu to make himself or whomever he wants president?
Jonathan bleeped up and didnt do squat you say what did Tinubu and his boys in power now from South West do for the other Southern regions? You guys play politics of tribal interest from get go till now. Even smart Northerners are saying it openly. What did Fashola do for North East? How about North central? They are only work for their region, even the North West can point to anything to show. So Bros carry your load by yourself. We know how Tinubu underhand moves made sure no SEastern man in APC got any serious post. Only his boys can emerge, now you want people to support him to do what to further strangulate whatever remains of the South? From. contracts to Jobs only your people, which was not so during PDP, cps things were shared fairly. Even Okorocha that fought for APC and begged for Deputy Senate President, it was Tinubu via oshomhole that shut him down. Uzur Kalu majority leader quest nko? Same thing. Now you want their kins to support? Clowns.
Even on the sufferings and killings the Tinubu section of Yorunas are they ones leading the tale of lies and propaganda to dilute the truths. do you know how pained I am coming from the Where these killings are done? Lying that no such thing exist s.
So as at now you are at the mercy of the North, who majourity feel Buhari wasted their chance and wanta a refund. Cos there is nothing to show for their support. Just pray that voices from there don't constitute into a movement cos the tsunami that will sweep your pay master Tinubu away, with be on coke. Not even Lagos go dey him hand.
By then the rest of Nigeria, Tinubu and co have been sidelined I mean the NCentral, North East, South South, South East and parts of North West will feed South West that cold supper they ve been shoving down our throats the last 5years. Be ready.

CTGVenturesFCT:
There is a village close to mine, it was just recently they started building storey buildings. In the past, you will be struck with strange ailment or killed if you build a 1 or two and above storey building (s).

All they had then was mud Houses and ugly ass bungalow.

Their economic power just got a boost. It has nothing to do with 'Jazz'.






Let me tell you one naked truth:










'Jazz' has no power over medical conditions.


The village people , including their Babalawos (Dibia or Boka) are NOT immuned to all the medical illnesses like hypertension, HIV, Diabetes, Glaucoma, Shigellosis and Psychiatric illnesses.


I know one witch doctor that was admitted into Psychiatric ward in a Teaching Hospital in 2011.

E-Money would have bribed everybody in his village.

I am sure ,all the witches and Wizards will be getting monthly alerts from E-Money, to the extent that they will even fight anybody that wants to fight him.

MyNamelS:
Why didn’t emoney legs swell up

Shakara!

If they are so powerful, why didn't prevent the European slave raiders from capturing and selling the children and siblings as slaves for four hundred years?

Why didn't they stop the British Colonialists from colonizing (enslaving) the whole Nation?

Flier:
Lol you are a learner.Black is real,they might not even allow you to get the money if you don’t stop this nonsense

placeofallure:
Hmmmmn, I don't know, wish I knew. All I know is that my friend died of the complications from her swollen and decaying leg. Whether she stepped on a charm or someone hit or touched her leg with something, I don't know.

Your late friend died most likely from Diabetic foot ulcers.

Osidazz19:
He better go to another hospital until he meets a competent doctor that knows what he's doing instead of these quack doctors that are quick to give such stupid advice.
Nothing like village people, he has a medical condition that needs treatment ASAP.
I beg stop this archaic neanderthal African maladies.
This is one of the reasons why all these scam Pastors are able to scam so many gullibles so easily.

African Magic has has given unquestioned authority/approval to some many educated people to believe that their less fortunate family members living in the villages are evil and responsible for any misfortunes that they experience.

What exactly do you people gain by arguing on Nairaland on who should or shouldn't be president?


It's very funny seeing people who can't determine who will be their councillors in their own areas coming on Nairaland to beat their chest that they will determine who will be president or which zone will produce the president.

DedeNkem:
Did I hurt your feel with the truth? You little pathetic idiot! It's evidently true that the North enslaved you dumb Yorubas politically! You bow to them while they f*uck you morons from behind!

By my nature, I am more refined and cultured to be exchanging insults but sometimes I have to listen to that Biblical injuction that


Prov 26:5 'Answerth a fool according to his folly, lest he think he is wise'


You are definitely mad, otherwise you should have known that you can't dictate to a whole ethnic group on how to vote in elections.

You are aren't wiser than the Yoruba people. If you can't stand their voting pattern, why don't you end your miserable life by hugging the nearest transformer in your area?

You are simply a scumbag brimming with frustrations, a waste of space and time, the world be better off without intolerant fools like you.

DedeNkem:
Did I call Oshiomole a yoruba man? You dummy! I added yoruba in my statement as people successfully and actively used by the North!

You are the dummy here, boy!



There are millions of Yoruba in Nigeria and different Yoruba voters voted for different political parties.


Instead of you to concentrate on how you can pass your Post UTME and be useful for your family, you are profiling a whole ethnic group constisting of millions of people who have achieved far greater things than you can ever amount to in your life and dabbling into political issues that is obviously beyond your level of intelligence, exposure, experience and education.

Texty:
The only reason it's rape it's cause she called it so..... What will come to the mind of some men when you agree to follow them home is that you willing to succumb to sexual advances..... And there will be no way the man will conceal his intentions before they got to his apartment so...... I feel that she allowed kissing and romance but the guy forced himself to have sex with her even when she out rightly refused .......

God bless you bro.

Most of what women call rapes actually happened like that. The two sexual mates are in the guy's room, on his bed and the guy started kissing and romancing her which she doesn't object to but wish the guy can just stop at that point without penetration into the vagina (possibly on religious/cultural grounds).

However, at the peak of such sexual foreplays, hormonal actions are also in top gears and it's difficult to stop abruptly for the guy and the lady also can't resists such huge temptations to fully enjoy the act.

Guilty feelings which often start after the sexual act make many ladies to term the whole act RAPE.

It's immaturity to assume that you can only make progress in life if a politician from your zone is the president. What a great fallacy!

Grab the opportunities around you to excel in life, impact positively to your community irrespective of whom the president is.

When it's time for elections, vote for your preferred candidate, whoever will win will eventually win. Que Sera Sera.

mrvitalis:
Yoruba's want the whole south to unite n help them win the presidency for south
Same presidency they took away from south

There can never be unity without equity ...only an Igbo presidency can unite the south now ...its just n right

If the south west refuse to give up ...we repeats what they did in 2015 ...its simple

mrvitalis:
So what's the essence of the topic

The OP is one of the unnecessarily embittered young men on this forum who transfer the responsibility for their personal fortunes or misfortunes to the Government.

mrvitalis:
U guys that cared voted buhari ....how's is buhari better than Jonathan

It is true that Buhari has performed poorly, however he is NOT the cause of the problems of Nigeria.

I am against Buhari because he failed to use the enormous goodwill that brought him to power to solve SOME of the problems of Nigeria especially in the area of SECURITY.

You cannot prevent the North or ANY Geo-Political zone from attaining presidential powers. Every administration including the Buhari administration has expiry dates.

ALL Nigerians should have the capacity to become whatever they like including the president... it's a question of time, it will be like that.

mrvitalis:
Your actions giving power to the north is what we are paying for ...Igbo's could have worked with buhari in 2011 after he wrote and begged us to ...thats why he hates us even ...but we said no

But u small flirt with VP Yoruba's open lag

If u are sorry support south east for president else go m fight the north alone

Lai'lah Illah Allahu, Muhammadu Rusullah!

proclinician:
Match made in heaven. Unfortunately times have changed. A prostitute on tinder makes the min wage in 2 nights I wonder what a young graduate man is going to say. They're increasing explosively too

How did you know the wages/charges of prostitutes, let alone the prostitutes on Tinder?

CSTR2:
Nigeria has the largest number of start ups in Africa.
They attract more venture capitalists than in anywhere else.

How many of those were created by people of northern origin?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Northern technocrats are not many and Most of them are in the Public service.

solmus:
North are quite ignorant of the damage foolish buhari is doing, I swear I pitty you monafiq because as Allah rightly said your time would come

Excuse me Bros, when exactly did Allah tell you this?

OZAOEKPE:
I no no why I hate you, I just hate you

Don't be surprised if the two of you end up marrying each other so that hatred can cancel hatred.

tsephanyah:
Tinubu record is bad... He is corrupt and APC is here to fight corruption

You have a right to hate Tinubu but your assertion of APC fighting corruption makes it look you think Nigerians are fools.


The corruption going on under the APC is monumental.

DedeNkem:
Stupid Oshiomole thought the North had his back. Under his cut-throat leadership, APC was successful. They've used and dumped him!

You can't trust the North! Yorubas are too dumb to learn! They've been using the yorubas since the so-called independence!

So many embittered guys on Nairaland wrongly assume all real and imaginary evils in Nigeria is caused by the North and they like to use this phrase often


'You can't trust the North'


Mr Tribalist, this has nothing to do with Tribes and Oshiomole is not Yorubaman.

sassysure:
That is.


He worked hard for them, except few cases, he got up to 80% victory for these guys but see how they have collectively dumped him.

Serves him right.

The north always use and dump the south.
Yet they don't listen.
They are so power hungry they can betray their brother just to be accepted by the North.

Useless southern politicians.
Money is the only thing in their head.

1) Excuse me sir, this kind of ourtburst is unnecessary.

This is an intra party matters and ALL political parties pass through stages of conflicts, conflicts management and conflicts resolutions.

2) This is NOT a South Vs North affairs.

3) ALL southern politicians can NOT belong to one party and ALL Northern politicians can NOT belong to one parties.

4) In the PDP for instance, ONLY the first chairman, the late Chief Solomon Lar served out his tenure.
All other PDP chairmen (Barnabas Gemade, Audu Ogbe, Ahmadu Ali, Vincent Ogbulafor, Adamu Muazu) were removed unceremoniously.

At one Several times, PDP had two parallel chairmen at the same time.

So many people on Nairaland are very funny. They chose enemies without any reasons.

I see so many people who are neither APC members nor from Edo State jubilating over this court ruling, even though Oshiomole is NOT a Government official.

Dayoara:
It sweet my belly....like eating honeycomb.

Why and how does this court ruling affect YOU or the common man on the street?

southniyikaye:
the case is even worse right now, they are both at serious loggerheads Lai and abdulrasaq serious one o resulting to many factions of apc in kwara state
NEVER DIG THE PIT OF YOUR ENEMY TOO DEEP, YOU MIGHT JUST FALL RIGHT INSIDE

1) Lai Muhammed is an APC and he worked for the success of his party which defeated the PDP (Saraki's party).

2) This has nothing to do with pulling down. Do you expect Lai Muhammed to have worked for the PDP?

3) Must Saraki's party win all the time?

Appelmoik:
He went too far I would say.

Because he wanted to become BLIND.

MasterKernel:
It means first person.

Thanks bro, but I think Onye Mgbu= Person with pain. (Or the embittered person)

How much is the extruder machine?
